Minneapolis budget passes with police funding cut, but keeps larger staffing level target
By FOX 9 Staff
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Minneapolis City Council passed a 2021 budget early Thursday morning that shifts nearly $8 million from the city’s police department to fund alternative public safety strategies, but allows room for future police recruitment.
A key moment came when the council voted 7-6 to pass a motion regarding police staffing. Through the Safety for All plan, the sworn officer capacity would have been reduced to 750 in 2022 and beyond – a decrease that Mayor Jacob Frey had threatened to veto the budget over. The approved motion removed that language and instead increased the vacant sworn positions to 140, which allows room for recruitment. It’s important to note this does not impact staffing level for 2021.
